[QUOTE="laserflat, post: 874984, member: 41055"] Id go with a 6.5 Creedmoor but thats just me as Ive wanted one for a while in a GA Precision GAP-10. And like Mikecr said Id probably try to go for a good 130gr Berger load first to try to keep the velocity up some. And for what youre hunting, a 6.5 CM is more than enough power. You could have it in a nice light rifle that still wont recoil very much and could even go with a fairly short barrel without giving up too much MV considering the expansion ratio. If youre looking for a bad to the bone 6.5 though, look no further than the 6.5 SS. Same length as a Creedmoor, 140s at mag length in a SA without taking up powder capacity, etc. That SS sure seems to have about the best amount of case capacity in 6.5 for a real good compromise between velocity vs powder burned.
